As many of you may have seen on the news, Ursuline’s campus was affected by a tornado that touched down early Saturday morning. The most significant damage has occurred to the O’Brien Athletic Center where an exterior wall of the gym collapsed. Clean-up efforts have been underway andreconstruction will be taking place in the weeks ahead. Thankfully no one was injured during the storm. If you have not seen the campus yet, please click here to view photos of the damage.

I would like to offer my prayers of gratitude and deepest appreciation for your support and belief in a positive future through this difficult time. Together we will rebuild our campus to an even more vibrant state than before. Without your confidence and support of Ursuline, we would not have been able to get through the past few days with such assurance. Even though we are a small group, we have a mighty heart and even a tornado cannot dampen our spirit.
